Pocketful of Sunshine Pattern Release

Let me just say it's long overdue.  But I'm still doing a happy dance at the release of my first quilt pattern!  You've seen this quilt before:

I made this last spring.  I blogged about it here.  It's the second version of Hidden In Plaid Sight which I made in the winter of 2014.  Both were stitched and quilted on my Bernina Artista 180.


I used Hidden In Plaid Sight as the sample in the Craftsy class Dot to Dot Quilting with Angela Walters, as those charm squares are perfect places to practise those designs. ;-)  When I uploaded photos to the class site, I had a few people ask me for a pattern.  I was pretty surprised, in a most pleasant way.


The pattern is now available through my pattern store on Craftsy here!   It is free.  Hidden is a little bigger than Pocketful, but once you have the pattern, it's pretty easy to make it bigger.  A humongous thank you goes to Jasmine at Quilt Kisses, and Judy at Quilt Paradigm who proofread the pattern for me.

I have a couple other patterns at the in-process stage which I will upload once I'm finished them.  Watch for a pattern for Blue Ribbon Stars in two sizes (again I got requests for a pattern, and that makes me smile) and for Dayna's Shadowed Stars quilt of which you've seen glimpses.

Craftsy is doing it again...tempting us to purchase gorgeous fabrics at terrific prices.  They have a sale on all weekend, where you will find some pretty amazing deals.

    1. Haha! Charming! And it is made of charm squares! I want to do another one where you leave the squares whole; maybe I'll call it charming!
      And thanks for following me. So sorry I can't respond to you by email but you are a no-reply blogger. :-(

  5. Thanks, Sandra!! I really like this pattern ... now will add that to my ever increasing bucket list of QTM (Quilts To Make). Checked out your stars, too, and they are definitely Whoop Whoop worthy. Have a great day and give that cute Rocco a hug from me.

  17. That is so neat that people have asked you for patterns, but I'm not at all surprised they did Sandra. Pocket of Sunshine is a beauty! The quilting you did is wonderful and I pinned it twice, so people could see the close-up too!
